I am a general technogeek. I know something about almost anything related to science,tech,etc because I just happen to be interested in pretty much ALL OF IT.

programming wise however, I have been coding since about 83, if you count computer camp... LOL what a nerd. I was on and off since, until about 1988 when interest in 3d animation took off and I started writing my own plugins and systems from assorted 3d packages at the time. On to college, but did miserably. I was so far ahead of the class that I was bored out of my mind, and failed everything. I was too busy helping the grad students program and design their robots, and drinking beer. And started messing around more deeply with the internets. A few hacks, and a few "conversations about my future" later, and i decided to take a year off. Then back to school, started getting straight A's because I "figured it out". Did alot of contract work, again related to 3d plugins. but then mozilla appeared and my world changed.

desperatly trying to make the web do things it shouldnt. I poked every hole, pulled every string. and then MS released to beta a world changer of a thing. ASP, which at the time was called Denali. I dropped everything and started creating as much web based stuff as I could. Built what probably was one of, if not the first, online fitness tracking and diet sites. (failed miserably... lol). Needless to say, being that I still do primarly ASP, i'm an expert in it. Trying to get myself motivated enough though to jump to .net.

MsSQL is my database of choice, but Im no expert. very knowledgeable, but not an expert in the inner workings and tweaks.

My real skill is simplification, shortcuts, least amount of effort planning, and general "how to do less work for better results". seeing the big picture, understanding enough of anything to be a sounding board, and keeping an eye on "the box" whether im thinking in it or outside it...
